About the role

Do you consider yourself a strong advocate? Do you enjoy helping

others achieve their goals? If so, we want to hear from you.

Why KACL?

Since 1960, KACL has promoted inclusion and social justice in our community. We are a not-for-profit, charitable organization made up of some of the most compassionate, caring, and

hardworking people you’ll ever meet.

We are one of the largest employers in Kenora, and our goal is to be the employer of choice by

focusing on safety, courtesy, teamwork, and inclusion. This position is in partnership with the

Homeless, Addiction, and Recovery Treatment (HART) Hub, a collaborative initiative designed to

provide a seamless continuum of care through a culturally responsive and healing-centered

model. Tailored to meet the needs of individuals facing homelessness, addiction, and mental

health challenges, the Kenora HART Hub serves as a vital anchor for support within the Kenora

geographical area, and surrounding communities. By delivering coordinated, compassionate,

and evidence-based services, the HART Hub ensures equitable access to care. This approach

integrates holistic and culturally grounded practices, to promote stability, healing, and long-term recovery for members who are most vulnerable within our communities.

Within this partnership, KACL’s Community Mental Health Intensive Case Management program

advocates for individual choice and encourages people to pursue their interests and engage in

activities despite barriers. Community Consultants are strong advocates who bring their voice

into our community to assist adults in managing their illnesses. They jointly develop support

plans with individuals to work towards their personal goals. You will provide supports focused

on building confidence and independence and the discovery of each person’s unique gifts and

abilities to be used in the achievement of their identified goals and dreams.

  • Adaptive: You see challenges as an opportunity to learn, grow, and find solutions; you welcome change as part of this process.

  • An Advocate: You believe that everyone has a story that deserves to be heard.

You Will:

  • Be part of a team of strong advocates that never give up on the people we support.

  • Promote independence to build confidence and dignity.

  • Assist people in managing their illnesses, learning about their medications, eating nutritiously, and exploring available opportunities in the community.
